A real page turne r, centring on the nightmare of discovering that the person you love and trust more than anyone else in the world is out to hunt you down." (From Amazon)

A brilliant suspense/thriller novel. A creepy unforgettable villain (Jim Beckett) and strong female heroine (Tess Williams) and a hot tortured hero (JT Dillon). Gardner is a strong writer and personal backgrounds are never just filler.
